Stables Cottage is one of nine cottages within Keld Head Farm Cottages. Each cottage is individually designed and created from a group of traditional stone built barns set around a secluded courtyard. Much of the original character and features have been retained and the cottages have open beamed ceilings, traditional stone fireplaces, pan tile roofs, full central heating and double-glazing. The cottages each have their own charm and vary from single, two storey to 'upside down' and will comfortably accommodate from 2 up to 8 people. Cottages rest in open countryside on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park (Heartbeat & Harry Potter country) but only twenty minutes walk from the centre of the picturesque market town of Pickering. The cottages have been created with the emphasis on comfort and are spacious, tastefully decorated and fitted out with coordinated quality fabrics. Three cottages have four-poster beds. The kitchens are fully equipped, including filter coffee maker, toaster, conventional and microwave ovens, fridge freezer and some have dishwashers and washing machine. Nestling between Yorkshires scenic heritage coast of Filey, Scarborough, Whitby, and the Historic City of York, Pickering has good local pubs serving real ale and tasty regional dishes. It boasts a superb indoor swimming pool along with its famous Medieval castle and North York Moors Steam railway. During your stay relax on spectacular rolling hills with heather clad moorland, woodland and forest or visit some of the finest stately homes, castles, museums, theme parks, zoo, working farms and breweries or be energetic, go horse riding, quad biking, play golf or fish.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Lovely Cottage
We stayed the The Stables. It was spotlessly clean with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. The courtyard was beautiful and we sat outside most evenings. The town was a short 15 min walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect base for exploring
The cottages were very well equipped, clean and tidy. A little dated but serviceable. The owners were full of valuable knowledge of the area, deals for trips and were very helpful. On site they had a small reception area with local info and lots of dvds and videos to borrow. Laundry area, washer and drier with washing lines available. The cottages had a well stocked kitchen and a lovely homely feel. We all slept very well in the peaceful setting too, which is always a bouns.

A wonderful holiday
We had a great stay over half term with our two young children. Penny and Julian were very welcoming and really helpful with recommendations on places to visit and to where to eat in the surrounding area. The Stables was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need, lots of space, and in lovely surroundings. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Perfect place to stay and enjoy North Yorkshire
Stables Cottage at Keld Head Farm provided perfect accommodation for our family party of six adults and little five week old baby. Roomy, homely and very clean with a well equipped kitchen and dining area which was great for the times when we decided to eat in. The courtyard garden is a lovely place to chill out and take in a bit of sun while the large garden with a lovely large summer house is great for children and adults to relax and play. The cottage is perfectly situated for a stroll into Pickering with all amenities handy while still providing the peace of open countryside with views over open fields. It is a good base for day trips to the many places of interest and breathtaking natural beauty within North Yorkshire as well as all the great places to eat and drink. The owners Penny and Julian were extremely welcoming and friendly and always on hand if needed.

Fantastic
We stayed in the Stables cottage with our two boys aged 5 and 3, our third stay at Keld Head in four years. The cottage is set in a lovely courtyard and also has views of the surrounding countryside. Cottage was very clean and spacious. Kids play area in the gardens is a huge bonus allowing the kids to play and run around safely. Great location for visiting the surrounding area. Julian and Penny were very helpful with advice on local attractions. We visited Dalby Forest, Flamingoland, Scarborough, Robin Hood's Bay and Staithes.

Excellent cottage
Great place to stay in Pickering - close to North York Moors, Steam Railway and Flamingo Land. Lovely welcome from Penny, dad in particular enjoyed the cake. Accommodation was very clean with everything we needed included. Kids enjoyed the on site play park and toys. Will definitely be returning. We also enjoyed take away from the Fortune Inn and meal at the Beansheaf after a trip to Flamingo Land.
